To all ywhom '25 may concern Be it known that I, Turman lV. Barone- Lon7 oil." Chelsea, in the county out Sul'toll; and State oil. tlassswhusetts, have invented certain new and use tul ii'i'iprovenients in Conveyer-Belts7 ot which the liollowing1 is a specitieation.

This invention relates 'to an iiniAn-m'einent in conveyor belts.

The object ol' the invention is to provide a conveyor belt, made of canvas or similar material. which is adapted {n.'imarilxr tor use on harvesting machinery, andv whieh has advantages over those heretofore in use. .lxs ordinarily constructed. belts ot this tzi'pe are provided. at their ends with leather straps and buckles by which the ends are fastened together. These straps are a considerable item oli' expense, and the)Y cause annojance and clogging oli the machine.

` sii-ed manner.

Freni the construction above set 'lorth it will be noted that the use ol: straps is entuely olv/lated7 with the consequent noise ot the llailipine' ends when the machine is in Accordingly, this invention contemplates the 'n'orision o'l a belt whieh is woven end less and is ot' the required (iliinensions, and which obviates the necessity of straps.

l will describe my .invention in the follows ing` speeiieation and. point out the novelv features thereof in the appended elaiins.

The invention will be readily understood trom an inspection ot' the accompanying drawing7 in whichliigure l is a perspective view et tien o'l a woven tube of beltinpg. Fing. `Fragmentary plan View ot the belt on a por- 2 is a.

an enlarged seale. and Fig. C23 is a sectional side f elevation of the belt on a reduced seale.

.is illustrated in the drawing. the beltine' gruished thread l2, to indicate where the 'lubg ing' is to be out to produce a belt ol the desired width. This tubing' is ot canvas woven in a well known manner, and the eirrninterential din'iension o'l. the tube is equal to the length of the belt required.. The tube 'l0 is eut into the required lengt-h along` the lines 1.2, then the edges are turned over to forni hems 14, lo. flhese heins are seeured by a zigzag' line of sewing 1S, thereb'v producing pockets 9.0, which are oppositely disposed and adapted to receive the ends of wooden slats 22. If desired, these operation and tendency to clog` the con- .'e)'ei'; the belt is entirely uniform througlr ont. its entire length; and the parts are subjected lo eren wear.

'Change' in atmospheric einnlitions are readilii talien vare ot' with the belt con .-ltrurled according' to this invention, and a uniiorin product is always oblainecl.

While l have illustrated and described a preferred embodiment ot' the invention, I ain aware that man v modifications can bc reai'lily made therein by anjr one skilled in the arl without deimrtinzg' trom the scope ot the invention as expressed in the claims. 'l'lwrel'ore l do not wish to be limited to all the details o'l ('onstruetion illustrated and deseribed. but

l. eanvas eonveyei.' belt having pockets at its side edges constructed :from the ma.- terial ot the belt. tot' the purpose set 'Forth Q. ranvas eonveyer belt having' pockets at its side edges eonstrueted lrom the material olE the beltj and slats having their ends held in said poekets.

Il. ."i eonverer belt provided with a hem at earh oder, each hein being' lnfoif'ided with a serien ot poekets, and slats having their ends held in said pockets.

-l. .it ranvas eonveyer belt, having its edges turned over to 'lorni henis, and a Zig- 'fzag' sewing in eaeh hem whereby a series of pockets is ilorn'led therein.

5. .it cloth conveyor belt havingl its edges provided with hems, a series o't oppositely disposed pockets in said heins, and slats at'- lixed lo the belt and haif'ing their ends held in said pockets.

ln testimony whereol5 I have allixed my signature. in presence ol. two witnesses.
